Strength Arch Type and its Message for our World

Card of the Day:  Strength and the World

When I plan my blog post, I usually pull a card and see what the angels have to show me and sometimes, they guide me to wait a few days and send me messages to confirm and support the information that they want me to deliver. I was channel flipping one day and I came across the movie “The Wizard of Oz” and a lightbulb hit- I totally get the message of the strength card, At the end of this message, I highly recommend you all go watch that movie as you will have a new understanding and appreciation for it. In the movie there is the cowardly lion who journeys with Dorthy because his hope is to meet the wizard and ask for Courage.        

                When I first started to learn how to read Tarot, I had a hard time understanding the lesson of the Strength card because my life at that time, totally contradicted its message. I was a young teen, full of frustration and anger. I didn’t have much Patience and I was a hot head. Even to this day I still get burst of frustration and lose my cool, ( I have a 3 year going through terrible 3’s. ) What the Strength card has taught me, is that we must learn to tame our animalistic side with gentleness. Be calm. Be patience. Looking at this card, the women symbolizes our feminine energy. The lion is an arch type of our animalistic nature. The Lion is confident, it’s courageous, its powerful- All traits that we each have with in. But, it is also Angry, Dominating and a Bully- Doesn’t all that sound like our egos? Don’t we all go through emotions just like that? Aren’t we all responsible for those things?  The lion in us tells us to take control of our lives and accept our own responsibility to how we act. The Lion is powerful, he is not a victim and he does not blame others for his failures.

                My message for you, and this lesson I hope you all can see, is that the strength card is teaching us we can overcome those bad traits. We can tame our Anger by being calm. We can be less Dominating and practice Patience. We can lead with power in a courageous way.  This is not about physical strength. It’s internal, it’s on a spiritual level. Be strong in mind, body and spirit.  If there is anything I can give that is gold it is this

_____________________________________________________

Be calm when you are angry. Be silent when you want to yell.

Be a Lion amongst hyena’s, don’t become a hyena.

                The World Tarot is the final card in the journey.  It often comes at a time where you have mastered a challenging lesson and you can now move on. It’s a great card of completion but the journey does not end here. The book does not close, you are simply ready for the next chapter. Many of you will find that once you master the Strength card, your journey will change and life will take a turn for the better. New doors will open. Even right now as you guys are reading this your probably feeling like a shift is happening but your unclear as to what, you don’t really understand why you feel this way. Think about strength and see how it has unfolded in your life. Do you see how the upsets of this year have arised and what your role was to play? What did you learn,  I learned this year, that all the waves I rocked, were because of me- I was roaring when I should have been silent. I attacked, when I should have stayed still. It was a hard lesson, but I realized I needed to be humble. I can honestly say, I am glad to be finally closing my chapter on 2016.

                More about the World Card. In the Center if this card you see a women, she is wisdom, she dances with in a Wreath that is a symbol for the universe.  When I look at her, she speaks to me as if to say “ Its time to come home” The World card is all about us going back to where we started. Life is a big circle, we go round and round. It never ends. When one chapter is complete, we return to the starting point and the journey begins again- the only difference is that we are ready for new lessons, challenges and experiences. There truly is no end. In the four corners of this card you will see the 4 energies of the universe:  In Life we must harness the energy of all 4 items to create a wonderful life. We must find balance. We cannot master one without the other. 

If your learning tarot, here is a mini chart to help you understand the four corners of the World Card:

Russian Gypsy Oracle and My Own personal Reader

I'd love to introduce you all to a great reader. Her tool of trade instead of the tarot is the Russian Gypsy Oracle. These cards are notorious in the spiritual circle for being  insanely accurate.  She is an amazing reader with many years of experience under her belt. Every time she has done a reading for me, I was left WOW-ed.  Phenomenal experience every time and worth every penny.  From my understanding, each card contains a partial image and when pieced together they tell a story. It's a myriad of symbols and colors that takes a skilled hand to read.


Here are some Fun fact about the Russian Gypsy Oracle:

 Gypsy singing and fortune telling have been a staple in Russian entertainment since the 18th century. Born free to do anything, go anywhere and love anyone, they were highly sought after for weddings, where they mesmerised the guests with romance ballads and dance. These passionate and mysterious nomads inspired many poets who celebrated the freedom of spirit. Today, gypsies are an integral part of Russian culture and are widely recognized for their contribution to performing arts.  

In the past, men earned income seasonally by the means of blacksmithing and horse breeding. Women were the primary bread winners, relying mostly on fortune telling for income. The gypsy way is to get by with what you found, therefore ladies used anything they could get their hands on for divination. Contrary to popular belief, Tarot decks were almost never seen in Russian gypsy hands, as those cards were rare and pricey (although very popular in the West). Instead, gypsies used acquired knowledge of Tarot and applied it to a deck of regular cards, but didn't stop there. Many ladies opted to draw their own cards, using familiar symbols such as a Scythe for fate, a Bouquet for a gift, Rings for love, a Book for secret etc. A modern deck of Russian Gypsy Oracle is a fusion of an ancient Indian Oracle and Tarot of Lenormand. Other popular methods of divination were needles, coins, beans and of course, nature and superstition.  

Want to learn more about my reader?
 Her name is Tatiana and I came across her once upon a time when I myself was in search of the Oracle cards for my own collection. Unfortunately at that time, they were very difficult to come by and instead, spirit lead me to her wonderful work. The story behind these beautiful cards is that they don’t lie. How these cards unravel their story is fascinating to me and I’ve always enjoyed Tatiana’s reading’s.  If you’ve never heard of these, do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s absolutely fascinating, and you must try these at least once in your life.  As a professional reader myself, I don’t do my own readings. I do seek others and I will only recommend those who I think are great readers, so if you trust my work, I promise you she does not disappoint. Some people often ask why I don’t read for myself and my response is this, “Surgeons don’t perform their own surgeries.”

                If you are interested in booking a reading with Tatiana, you can do so through email. Her Russian Gyspy readings are $30 and for simplicity sake, she only accepts payment through Amazon E-Gift Cards. 

If your curious about her work and not quite ready to book a reading, no worries! Shoot her an email with any questions or Send Tatiana a hello!  She’ll love to hear from you! Want to learn more about her continue reading below.

                         A regular deck of playing cards was my first divination tool as well. I relied on a simplified deck of 36, omitting the jokers and all cards below 6. That was still a lot of interpretations to remember for a nine year old! While I showed improvement in guessing the cards during clairvoyant exercises, my ability to interpret them was rusty. I was determined to be better and remember going to the library for an hour every day after school. It wasn't until ten years later when I found out my paternal grandmother was popular for her fortune telling, while her husband had the ability to see the future. My father was skilled in hypnosis and my maternal grandmother was an unbeatable gambler. Needless to say, none of this pleased my mother because she desperately wished I grew up normal, so I understand her motivation for secrecy. 

                          My introduction to the Gypsy Oracle happened later that summer, during a holiday visit to my grandmother in Ukraine. My mother was pregnant with my brother who was due in fall so the timing of the visit was thoroughly planned. Not understanding Ukrainian also meant less TV time, so I was left to my own devices in the courtyard. Armed with a deck of playing cards and a walkman, I kept laying out a popular with schoolgirls "crush" solitaire, trying to will the cards to tell me what I want to hear. A teenage girl sat next to me and asked me what I was doing and when I said I wanted to see the future, she wanted to know why. I said I want to be able to make the right choice. She pulled out a thin deck of square cards with partial images on them and said it was the oldest cartomancy divination method that never lied. She laid them out in rows, then looked for matching halves. The reading predicted change in friends, sudden illness that forces me to take an unplanned trip, followed by good fortune.  Mother became suddenly ill a week after the reading, forcing us to return back home earlier than planned. She ended up delivering a healthy boy a month before due date. I did end up changing my group of friends and although it's not uncommon for kids my age, I obviously attributed that factor to the cards and was in love with their precise short-term future interpretations! 

                           Fast forward 22 years later, cards are still my favourite way to bond with people through entertainment. My reliable deck has always warned me when I was about to move (again!), receive winnings, fall ill or experience emotional upheaval. It predicted family reconciliations, love, periods of loneliness and deceit. In true gypsy fashion, the cards provided me with the freedom of choice and the possible outcome. The Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards are the experience you want to make your own, because if you love card readings, you must have them. They taught me that the answers are within ourselves and that all we need is a nudge in right direction. As a Russian proverb states: "Forewarned means well-armed" and the only detriment of knowledge is the absence of surprise." 

Patience, Persistence and the magic

Card of the Day:  SEVEN OF PENTACLES

                Lets take our minds off of daily right now and think about farming. Your probably thinking “ Ugh… Ok?” But the reason why I bring this up is because we live in an instant age, the age of technology, everything we ever need or want now is at the click of a finger.     When I talk about farming, I’m really talking about goal setting.  When you have a goal in mind, you have already planted that seed. You don’t instantly expect that plan to take root right? It takes time, you have to plant the seed, let it germinate, pull weeds, water it, give it sunlight and give it time.  But so often, and this is mainly due to the way our world works now, we expect instant results.
             When we don’t get instant results, we think it has failed and on to the next seed and goes on this vicious cycle of failure.  I work with many people in goal manifesting and the first thing that comes across very often is they tell me, they tried it before and it didn’t work so they gave up. Failure is good sign that you are on the right track, Failure gives us a formula to work on. If we don’t know what the recipe is, how can we improve it?
            Many people I come across will plant their seeds, they get impatience so they start pulling at the roots to early on to check if its growing and find that the seed fails. They don’t nurture it, they don’t pull weeds.  Part of this is a lack in understanding of the Law of Attraction.  People think if they “think great things” that’s all they need to do. Set it and forget it, but that is rarely successful.

                Ok, where are we going with all of this? My point is, If you want something, You must put effort into and give it time. Don’t be in such a rush all the time. The Seven of pentacles is an amazing card to get my point across today. Without Patience, and persistence…. There is no magic. If we give up , we never achieve the final product. Some people manifest things faster then others, does that mean they are more “lucky” I don’t think so. I think they’ve just had more practice. When I first started applying the law of attraction to my life, I didn’t see results for a very long time. Sometimes I even forgot about it. But, I never gave up and I kept trying. 

_____________________________________________________

Today, I’ve realized that where I invest my energy, Success flows.

_____________________________________________________

 But first, I have to show up, I have to be present. I can’t set it and forget it. I also want to note, I don’t set it and keep obsessing over it, which by the way is a different story)  The lesson of today's message, the 7 of Pentacles : We must be active in our lives, and we must work towards are goals. We have to be active participants.  Understand that our hard work, must also match our patience. Don’t be in a rush to get results because in time, your goals will reach their maturity and timing is everything. 

Just like a farmer, we must prep our soil (our foundation),

-plant the seeds (our goals)

- pull weeds ( negativity)

 With lots of water and sunlight (self nurture) 

-plus plenty of time ( patience)

We will have a full  bountiful harvest at the end of the season.

Message of the week : Good bye October

Before we leave October, lets see what our Angels messages are.

1.  Wizard of Awareness :  You and I both know that you know what’s best for yourself, you just have to trust it. Allow yourself  to just be still and observe.  If this card presents itself for you, don’t brush it off, trust that it’s message is true.  This card brings a message that you are stuck in an ego state of mind – you want to control things around you or you are trying to make something happen, and right now, this is not the best decision. This is not a time of action but a time to sit back and just watch. Observe because you will see things more clearly, you’re missing a very important piece of the puzzle.

   2.   Spark: I hate to say this, but someone or something is trying to dull your shine. Your going against something that is going to be more draining for you. There are times to fight or there are times to flight. Right now you want to mellow out and just let things unfold. Peoples true colors will show and you don’t want to act because you’ll get sucked into their negativity.  Retreat inwards and empower yourself. Put 100 percent of your energy towards things you love. Everything else can wait.

         3.  Coming to life:  Spirit is always there to help us, if we call on angel guidance, they arrive. We just have to do our part and move over and let life happen. When we release control of our expectations magic happen. But…. It will only happen if we trust in the universe.  If you plant a seed, you know it’ll grow. You don’t keep pulling at the roots to see if its working, correct? So trust this process. Ask for help and let go. Just trust that what you need is unfolding, even if you can’t see it just yet. Take this card as a sign that your on the right path, when you need the messages the most, they do arrive, you just have to be awake to see them.

     

    4.   Stuck in the Mud:  Being stuck somewhere is not always a bad thing. Sometimes we need to slow down and if we don’t, the universe will conspire with our angels and make things happen to make us slow down. We’ll get sick, our car will break down or those plans get canceled. This isn’t a bad thing, it’s a good thing! If you find your bumping your head, your laces are coming undone on your shoes or you get stuck in traffic. The universe is saying “HEY! SLOW DOWN! I HAVE SOMETHING AMAZING To SHOW YOU BUT YOUR MOVING SO FAST, YOU MISSED IT”

     5.  Ghostlands: Are you finding your spending a lot of your energy focused on tomorrow and the future? Or maybe you can’t let something go that happened in the past. This card shows up today for you because it’s a message that you aren’t being present in the here and now. All of your struggles and issues that are arising are because you aren’t being in this moment right now.  Yesterday has come and gone, we can’t change it now, we just keep moving forward.

Tomorrow isn’t here and we can’t make it come any faster so enjoy where you are today.

When you find yourself wandering into the ghostlands, it’s time to wake up and come back to reality.

Manifestation Spread How to : 

Best way to utilizing this spread is to understand that everything starts with an intention. Our intentions, plant the seeds to our future . . . A tree is used as a symbol because just like a tree.

We first must plant a seed, with love and nurture that tree will grow.

Planting our seed: Knowing what we want and learning how we are in control each step of the way.

Card 1: This is our hope, wish, intention. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT? This card will give you

an idea of the energy about your intention. Is this a good intention or a bad one? We want to

spend our time putting energy towards things that are for our highest good.

Card 2. How we can use our past experience/lesson to be a building block for our intention. Good or bad- what ever this card brings- take it as a blessing.

Card 3: What we can do TODAY to help us continue to grow. Heed the advice of this card and put it in action.

What will grow: We must nurture and love our decisions.

Card 4. What you want – behind every intention is a deeper goal, this goal may not be something you are aware of. This is ultimately your souls intention.

Card 5. Happy Medium – Sometimes we can be confused about our path- what we want, vs what need. This card is to help you become less confused, and find a happy medium.

Card 6. What the universe conspires for you. The universe will help us when we decided what we want. When we set our intention in this spread, this card will tell you how the universe intends to aid you in your journey.

Growing Pains: A tree must weather through some tough weather, if it is strong enough, it will survive.

7. Challenges and obstacles: this card will show you what challenge is ahead of you. This card is all about you and what is going to happen with in you. Take this card as a preparation card.

Card 8. Overcome challenges: this card will help you find a solution to your challenge.

Card 9. What to expect: Overall, what you can expect from this intention you have set :

-A Major Arcana card – the time line could be in the card. What card you receive will tell you where you are in your journey. A fool will imply the journey has just began, vs the Sun card which shows you are well on your way to achieving its success.

-Minor Arcana – There are still day to day activities and events that you must learn to overcome. It’s going to be a journey so enjoy and savor every minute. What you learn today will be the stepping stones for tomorrow.

-Court Cards – These are aspects of yourself that will grow from this process.

Card 10: How you can stay on track for the next 6 months: This card is going to be your guiding light- when you feel lost, remember it. Never give up on your dreams and one day you’ll see them come to fruitation.
